Truro’s Dylan Blenkhorn is in a hot streak.
Last year’s top rookie on the Parts For Trucks Pro Stock Tour picked up his second consecutive tour victory on Saturday night at Petty International Raceway in River Glade, N.B.
Blenkhorn, the pole-sitter for the Lucas Oil 100, passed P.E.I.’s Greg Proude with 21 laps remaining in the feature race for the victory. He won by close to two seconds.
Proude placed second with Enfield’s Shawn Turple third, P.E.I.’s Darren MacKinnon fourth and Fredericton’s Shawn Tucker fifth.
Terence Bay’s Craig Slaunwhite, Halifax’s John Flemming and Cole Butcher of Porters Lake picked up the next three spots in an 18-car field.
Amherst’s Ryan Mackintosh, a semi-pro Legends champ in the U.S. making his regional pro stock debut, placed 14th.
Mackintosh drove the car normally piloted by Timberlea’s Wayne Smith, a six-team Maritime champ and a part-owner at Petty.
Blenkhorn won the dash for the pole, although Flemming had the fastest time in time trials.
Turple and MacKinnon won heats. Proude led the most laps in a race with five lead changes.
The tour resumes this Saturday at Speedway 660 near Fredericton.
